Croatia and Germany are probably my top for just being interesting, I cannot understand how Sweden is getting so many votes! It was just… a slow ballad!
I do feel like this win was largely the result of juries thinking a repeat win would be cool. But I’m glad Czechia is in the top 10, and that Cha Cha Cha is number 2
Honestly this year was mostly pretty good, but no tunes I'd add to my playlist. The more I saw the replays the more i realised Belgium was probably my favourite.
I'd have liked to see Germany do a lot better just on principal but thought the song kinda missed the mark. Expected it to be middle of the table.
I really wanted Finland to upset win over Sweden but I'm down with them hosting. Just going to hope Petra comes back in some capacity I enjoy Melodifestivalen most years so I know SVT will put on a show.
This year was pretty great! I felt they celebrated Ukraine a good amount and the interval acts in Semi 1 and the Final were great! Semi 2 was a little bit of a dud comparatively though. The ballad bloc followed by Finland felt like the producers giving Finland the best possible chance? I think they could have broken up the slower songs a bit better if that wasn't the case.

Edit: Finland breaks a boring streak!
Edit: oh shit Germany was actually pretty wonderful, going for it
The song is basically “fuck you Putin”, with a bunch of double meanings in the lyrics
It was a pretty restrained Eurovision all things considered. Some years it felt like half the acts were like Croatia. 😆
It's like Terry Gilliam directed a Wes Anderson movie
I would murder for Finland
Also I did not know Hannah Waddingham was hosting and it makes me very happy
The fuck
Is Mahmood wearing
It was a thing for me, yes
Wow. 😆
I stand corrected. Well done Croatia though.
Edit: boooooo Finland/Australia/Germany were robbed!
Ireland's been useless for the last 30 years so well done. Might get our thumb out and make a serious effort next year lol
Johnny claims three wins 'cause he wrote Linda Martin's winning tune in ?92?.
But Johnny Logan loves the smell of his own farts so never mind him.
I think Ireland need to bring out the big guns and send Enya to reclaim the title. It's all we have. 😆
Eh 2.5 for Logan then. But hey, you also got Bono!
Rock music normally doesn't do well at eurovision with the odd exception.
It’s a damn shame, because I think they killed it out there.
Think they are still paying off time they won it three times in a row.

Can’t help but feel that Europe wanted to fuck us over with next years hosting
